This episode isn't anything particularly special, but I really enjoyed it. The tone was refreshingly playful at times, like some older episodes, without undercutting the more serious material. There is a particularly (relatively) moving scene between a boy and his crush, which is then upended in classic X Files fashion.

Scully also has some nice interactions with the entomologist Rocky, and she gets in a great one liner as he discusses never working with a partner before.

As well as this, we get to see Jesse Pinkman before he meets Mr White, and find out 2010-era Sebastian Vettel can control insects. Great stuff.
